What Does PAGE Stand For?
PAGE stands for Polyacrylimide Gel Electrophoresis
PAGE, or Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis, is a widely used laboratory technique for the separation and analysis of proteins or nucleic acids based on their size and charge. The polyacrylamide gel serves as a molecular sieve, allowing smaller molecules to migrate faster through the gel compared to larger ones when an electric current is applied. This method is essential in various applications, including protein expression analysis, purity assessment, and the characterization of biomolecules. PAGE is a crucial tool in biochemistry, molecular biology, and biophysics research.
